stone contributes 10 the October Nineteenth
Century review Of Dr. Ingram's History of
the Legislative Union of Great Britain. He
condemns the book a. no history at all, and
proceeds TO mention two difficulties in the
way Of any history of the subject be-
ing produced. The first Is that the records
Of the Irish government for thirty years
before the union are kept secret pre-.
served in the home Office and access to them
refused. The second difficulty is irreparable.
"There has BEEN" says Mr.. Gladstone,
something approaching to systematic de-
struction, by the Individuals concerned in
the union or contidentially acquainted with
its history, of papers throwing light on its
progress"
"rhe inference" he continues, ''is nearly
inevitable that the history of the union has
been SO exceptionally black. 1t must be hid
den. Apparently in preparation for carrying
the proposal to establish the union, new
aid Off ces were created and salaried and de-
pendent members Of the Irish parliament
multiplied. After the first rejec-
ton of the measure the Irish parlia-
ment was threatened by the British govern
ment with reiteration Of the proposal till
1t should be adopted. A challenge to appeal
to constituencies on the question was refused,
the habeas corpus act suspended and martial
laws cruelty enforced The Roman Catholic
nobility ana gentry were invegled by PROM
ises of emancipation into neutrality or sup
port. The Roman Catholic bishops
encouraged the belief that after the union
the state would directly support the church.
Parliamentary intimidations and bribery
were practiced on an unexampled scale, and
all these accusations of foul play against the
methods and agencies which brought about
the union are painfully sustained by the evil
dence before us of the excessive destruction
of documents and papers by the persons
principally concerned and means adopted by
the H1itsh government to prevent. at the
the cost OF the state, compromising publca-
tions."
The paper may be called one of uncom-
promising criticism and ls individually one
of the most successful efforts of Mr.. Glad
stones pen which in this instance was as
sharp as the axe with which he fels trees.

Cablegram-Special to the BEE. while
New York is supplying London with yacht
news, the latter can supply the former with
political home news of novel character.
Thus to-day's Court and Society Review has
this paragraph:
ut has leaked out that Mr.. Hewitt, mayor
| Of New York, has conceived strong per
| sonal dislike to President Cleveland, whom
| he rudely describes as bovine and adipOse.
1t seems that on recent occasion, when
Mrs. Cleveland was invited by the civic au-
thoritles to present certain colors to the
| tiremen, the president was quite ignored.
Mrs. Cleveland thereupOn promptly de-
clined the invitation. Mayor Hewitt,
who is alive to-, certain re-
semblance between his own personal ap-
pearance and an accepted portrait of the
| great Cardinal Richelieu, has thorough con-
tempt for the popular democratic president,
either rs diplomatist or as man of affairs.
What has he done, asked this modern
Casus. On what meat hath this our Caesar
fed that he hath grown so great" Yet for all
this. knowing ones assert that Cleveland is
sure to be elected for second term"
Perhaps on reading this Mr.. Mayor can
paraphase more appropriate Shakespearian
mouth. "There's a divinity that shapes m,
end. rough Hewitt how l will"
Disappointed, But Good HumOred.
